I like it!
Didn't quite understand what was happening but had a blast anyways. I'd never seen a control scheme like that before, but once I started playing it made sense immediately. Thank you for participating in LDJAM!
I'm a simple man, I see Goat, I click. But WOW did my expectations got blown out of the airlock or what!
Great - Goat is well implemented. Well done. - Space + Ship + Sandbox + Survival = LOVE - I really love how snappy the feeling of snapping the components are - Absolutely love how the Goat wasnt harmed even though the spaceship was destroyed. The transition back to start was 100% genius
Could be greater - Kinda hard to tell what the components do from a glance (what's with the snail?) - Way too many things floating in space - My missiles turned back and shot at me??!! - How do you control the spaceship? - What is the goat, I mean Goal of the game?
@kambing Thanks for your feedback! It's a bit of an experiment with things to figure out what they do kind of game.
You can save the snails for bonus points and because it's fun to try to protect them.
Missiles follow your mouse cursor, but you have to figure that out too :)
The spaceship can't be controlled
The goal is to get from one Coast (the start) to the other Coast (the end) while saving as many critters as possible.
Or, just build the coolest ship :)
This is a great idea, I also like goats which is a plus :D Pros: - mechanics is easy enough to understand within 2-3 sentences of tutorial - joints are self-explanatory - Totally fits the theme!
Improvements: - It would be nice to see more utility from the different parts (maybe I missed it?) - Difficulty is either boring or impossible, maybe something in-between would be nice...
This has been the most FUN entry in LD43 I've played so far!
Awesome, great work! :smile: :top:
It took me a minute to figure out the controls but I made it to the end. I think it fits to the theme well.
SPACE GOAAAAT! I love the games' silly 80s computer game vibe. I found the controls to be good once I understood them. This game could use a bit of a tutorial as not all of it is easy to understand. I really enjoyed flying to space with my space goat. Awesome game.
And so the man gazed into the eyes of Chaos and what he saw there was among the stars a Flaming Vessel in a shape most unspeakable reined by a Goat in a Glass Jar. And then it shot itself with a homing missile.
Quite a lot of fun! I like the mechanic of grabbing parts and building up your ship.
You have it all, you have it right. I had fun and had to talk myself out of playing your game more and more so that I could also play something different. Great flow, splendid work. Thank you for the experience!
Great concept. Love the idea of building your ship up and then having to sacrifice pieces in order to continue. Also, i like the humour that you added with this game. Well done.
